Description
Saratoga Springs and vicinity : scene of the inter-collegiate regatta :
This reproduction bird's-eye view of Saratoga Springs and vicinity was published by Harper & Brothers in 1874. Saratoga Springs has long been known as a resort community sponsoring such events as this inter-collegiate regatta shown in the foreground with Saratoga Springs in the distance. The event was recorded from sketches by Theodore R. Davis for "Harper's Weekly" 25 July 1874. The village of Saratoga Springs was incorporated in 1826. Construction of the Saratoga and Schenectady railroad began in 1831 and the tracks in the village were laid at once.
Popular in the1800s for its mineral springs, the springs have a sulfur odor, which is actually a form of hydrogen sulfide which degasses quickly from the water as it reaches the air. Tastes of the water vary from fresh to salty to sodium bicarbonate depending on the location.
Saratoga Springs was also home to the Saratoga Horse Race Course and had many fine hotels and resorts such as the Grand Union Hotel, which was considered the world's largest hotel until it was demolished in 1953.
